Strong Shall Stand 5K Run & Ruck

This run & ruck is more than just a race — it’s a show of solidarity with the brave individuals who protect, serve, and heal others, often at great personal cost. A portion of the race proceeds benefits Operation True North, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization providing mental health services to veterans, active duty military, first responders, health care workers and their families.
